“...I know that they’re fleeing horrible conditions but imagine if we had used the money spent on them here to help them build their country....”
No disrespect intended, Ma’am, but that’s their problem, not ours. And I don’t want one DIME of money that’s been forcibly taken me, at the muzzle of the IRS’s guns, to be spent in a country that hates our guts.
THEIR Marxist/socialist government bureaucrats created the problem. The Mexicans allow it to propagate because they haven’t risen up and killed them or thrown them in jail.
THEIR drug cartel magnates created the problem; The Mexicans allow it to propagate because they haven’t risen up and killed them or thrown them in jail.
THEIR version of “liberals” and other assorted traitors created the problem; The Mexicans allow it to propagate because they haven’t risen up and killed them or thrown them in jail.
“...they wouldn’t have the treacherous conditions they encounter just to make it here, ...”
Again. Not our problem. Stay out of the desert and do it the RIGHT way.
They want to come here, get in line like everyone else, and wait their turn. And then they NO freebies, NO subsidies, NO free ANYTHING - because it isn’t FREE; WE have to pay for it, and the things we pay for isn’t even available to AMERICAN KIDS. Our ancestors did it; they got here, and they worked their rear ends off to MAKE something of themselves; they learned English because they wanted to be AMERICANS, not something with a hyphen. And IF they used a hyphen, “American” came in FRONT of the hyphen, not after it.
I don’t have a lot of sympathy for these invaders; I have even less sympathy when I see them out there waving the Mexican flag, openly preaching “Reconquista” and “Aztlan”, and then we have to listen to idiots from La Raza (”The Race) and MECHA telling us that “All you Old White People have a duty to DIE and make room for US!” and other wonderful things like “This land was STOLEN from us!”
No sympathy at all for them. When I see that, when I hear that, all that comes to my mind is “Get the HELL out of MY COUNTRY!”
As far as the innocent kids go - they can go back home with their illegal alien parents and apply for US Citizenship when they turn 18.
Hi Hale,
Agreed, I was watching a program on Travel Channel last night. Some gal named Eden goes around to different locations trying out the off-beat eateries.
Anyway, she met up with this Moroccan fella who immigrated in the mid 90’s with nothing but $90 in his pocket.
He “won the Visa lottery” as he put it and during the segment about him, speaking in very good English, he was exhuding gratitude for what he had been able to accomplish in America.
He owns a business, home, etc.
This is the way immigration is supposed to work. This is the kind of immigrant I welcome with open arms.
The problem with these babies is that they are citizens. First, because their mother is a citizen. Second, because of current interpretation of the law regarding being born in our country.
I absolutely agree, I’d rather give every single child of a killed or wounded warrior a free college education anywhere they want to go in the country. And I’d be glad to do it. But the discussion we were having was a little more esoteric and we were dealing specifically with the compassion angle. We should NEVER have spent one damn dime on them (except a child should never be denied emergency medical care, but the family should be sent home after the child is well). My only point was that if we’d taken the money we’ve paid to essentially keep them here, on HELPING them improve their country, given the premise we would’ve spent the money on them anyway, that would be more beneficial to both countries. Frankly, our forefathers built this country in pretty harsh conditions and they can do the same. Granted, their leaders are mostly corrupt and much of the country is run by drug cartels but they should care enough to do what it takes to get control of their country.
